I tested with few files, the layout is preserved in 2.1.5 but not in 2.2.0.

Thank you for the great work by the way my workflow highly depends upon your module, Thank you again.

The default layout has changed in version 2.2.0 to match what poppler recommends. You now have three choices:

  • pdftotext.PDF(f): default layout
  • pdftotext.PDF(f, physical=True): physical layout, which looks to be what you want
  • pdftotext.PDF(f, raw=True): raw layout

By the way, there is never a need to pass raw=False or physical=False, since those are the defaults.
